This thesis brings together some results related to the nonlinear $H^{1}$-critical Schrödinger equation in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$, in particular, an exact controllability result where, using Strichartz estimates, the controllability of the linear system (HUM method) and a perturbation argument, the controllability for the nonlinear system is achieved. Furthermore, for the aforementioned equation with a perturbation term, we prove exponential decay for some solutions which are bounded in energy space but small at a lower norm. This result is a consequence of a profile decomposition obtained for linear and nonlinear solutions combined with a propagation result that involves arguments from microlocal analysis, namely the defect measure theory. After showing that a
sequence of nonlinear solutions can be linearized under some conditions, we prove an observability estimate that concludes our stabilization result.
